If you read a review for a book, usually people point out what they liked and what they disliked.

How come when you read a review for code, usually, it’s only the dislikes or if “lucky” a general comment about lack of dislikes? 🤔

What’s up with 19.2 fl oz beer cans? I mean, I like the size, but it’s not an even amount of anything. It equates to 567.81 ml.

Yes, I know American units are wonky, but sometimes they’re weird because they actually equal to an even metric number. For example, they sell 16.9 fl oz water bottles because that’s a half liter.

So, what gives on the 19.2 fl oz / 567.81 ml measurement for these tall cans?

I've just cut a release of SlimPHP's Twig-View component to allow for either psr/http-message 1.1 or 2.0.

This minor change that makes Twig-View easier to use with other package that use php/http-message and need the later version. #slimphp #php

Lots of great SQL knowledge from @auroraeosrose at #phptek this afternoon. Everyone should have been in this one!

Had a conversation at work recently about history-search on the command line and thought that I really should blog about it.

Turns out that I already have in 2014!

Why yes, I did get Chat GPT to write a bash script for me.

Needed checking and verifying as it kept “forgetting” that I have a BSD-flavoured *nix but was quicker than writing from scratch.

Next time I’ll use Copilot to see if that’s better at it.

For some projects we've needed to control the licenses used for our dependencies. Fortunately Composer has a command the help with this.

I recently discovered all my pipx installed apps stopped working. Looking into it, I learned that pipx reinstall-all exists which is incredible helpful on Mac with Homebrew Python at least.

The interesting thing about the xz attack is that as humans we tend to trust after time has passed.

A senior dev starts working for a company in 2021 is a trusted senior dev by 2024.

Someone starts regularly contributing to an OSS project in 2021 is a maintainer by 2024.

Continuing my JWT research, I looked into RFC 7517 for distribution of the public key needed to verify a JWT. It looked useful as it uses a .well-known endpoint, but there are some wrinkles with the format of the data, so I wrote down what I did.

As an Apple Mail user, I cannot express how happy I am that @atow has released MsgFiler 4! I’ve missed it since Apple killed off Mail Plug-ins in macOS Sonoma.
